New Electronic Payment Option
The HOA has set up an online payment portal for the payment of dues for those who would prefer the convenience of paying electronically rather than by check.
You have the option of paying by credit card or by bank transfer (a ~3% convenience fee will be added).

Selling your house – can dues be prorated?
We do not have a way to prorate annual HOA dues. And if you are selling your house, you need to pay the dues. The real estate companies require us to provide a notarized affidavit stating that the annual HOA dues have been paid in full for the current year. This affidavit is required about one to two weeks before you’re closing. You should pay the HOA dues as soon as possible to avoid any delay in your closing. Work with your realtor to see if you can be reimbursed for the HOA dues at closing. The HOA dues are due January 1st. If they are not paid before February 1st a late fee will be added.
Dues Increase Vote Results for 2022
The HOA volunteer board wishes to thank everyone who voted either in person or by using the online proxy voting. There will be an increase to annual dues to address expenses as outlined on the HOA web site.
The HOA covenants required a 66% or greater vote to increase the HOA dues. The final total percentage was 75.32%
| Total Count | YES | NO | Percent |
| 158 | 119 | 39 | 75.32% |
Effective annual dues for 2023 from all residences will increase from $152.00 to $250.00.
As a volunteer board we will continue to list projects identified, prioritize, and plan a schedule to complete these projects.
If you are interested in volunteering and did not sign up during the proxy voting, or in person voting, please email the HOA board – nrboard@northridge-ames.us.
We will add you to our volunteer email list as projects come up. More hands make easier work for all the volunteers.
